What We Do

We focus on aspiration, empowerment and promoting  postive choices, and send a clear message on the airwaves that UYF radio wants to build a socially just world, where all members of society, regardless of background, have equal access to public resource and opportunities, whilst balancing human rights with responsibilities.

UYF radio will endeavour to provide the social, emotional and economic bedrock that will help to break the intergenerational cycle of disadvantage, poverty and underachievement, all of which put young people at risk of more negative outcomes.

Comprehensive community activities and mentoring.

We deliver a comprehensive range of community activities, we offer personalized advice, dedicated personal support, and tailored guidance to address crucial internal factors such as self-belief, self-esteem, confidence, and resilience. Additionally, we take into account external influences originating from school, home environments, family dynamics, and peer relationships.

Young people thrive significantly when they have access to mentors who not only provide valuable insight but also share their life experiences and create a strong sense of belonging within the community. By connecting these young individuals with mentors who have faced similar challenges and overcome obstacles, we empower them to envision their unique paths to success and cultivate the belief that their goals are entirely achievable. This essential support network serves to enrich their educational journey profoundly and reinforces the values of persistence, commitment, and dedication, which are essential for their bright and promising futures.
